ASTROLOGY JAN 20 – JAN 27, 2018

ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 20)The Sun moves out of Capricorn early in the week. This will feel like a rather large weight is lifted from your shoulders. As it moves into Aquarius, you will begin to feel like you suddenly have wider horizons and a greater sense of possibility. Your sense of intensity is slowly lifting.

TAURUS (Apr 21 – May 20)Venus has moved out of Capricorn and into Aquarius. Others may find this liberating. You feel like you suddenly have no footing. Though this feeling of disorientation is disconcerting, it won’t last for long. You will soon get used to it. You may be more of a gypsy than you thought.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21)On the surface things look like they are moving along in leaps and bounds. In reality there are plenty of practical details to be taken care of. The message is not to get ahead of yourself. Take it slowly. Be patient. By going slowly you will end up going a whole lot faster in the long run.

CANCER (June 22 – July 22)The Moon begins the week rising in Pisces; a fellow emotionally focussed water sign. There are still three planets in Capricorn keeping you honest. Focus on sorting out the practical skills required to express your most sensitive and exquisite feelings. Work technique and feeling together.

LEO (July 23 – Aug 22)Support is arriving like the light-brigade from unusual and unexpected angles. Relationship matters need a shift and a shift is exactly what they get. Drop the idea that you can predict what is going to unfold, lest you create exactly what you fear. To be open is to be open to being surprised.

VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22The Sun moves into Aquarius this week. You aren’t quite ready to spread your wings and swoop into the open skies. There are ‘i’s’ to be dotted and ‘t’s’ to be crossed. You know better to run in excitement towards dreams and fantasies. Your sensible spirit is not out of place. Go slowly.

LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 23)To be on a high-wire attempting to stay upright, is a classic Libran position. There is tension and exhilaration in the act of maintaining balance. Get too tense you will fall off. Get too relaxed and you will fall off too. Stay incredibly centred and sensible, though may be tempted otherwise.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 21)Some of the pressure is easing. Mars has passed Jupiter and is heading towards his exit from your sign. You can lower your hackles. You can lower your sting. You can chill out. As you relax, you discover that you are instantly more competent and accomplished. Ease into your skill-set.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)Take all the time you can, to slow down and connect with your extended family. This is one of those times when you can go deep. Defences are down and hearts are willing to open. Mars will be coming your way soon. He will soon change the mood to one of adventure. Seize this moment.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)The Sun moves out of Capricorn this week. For the last month he has been illuminating places that had been a little shadowy and mysterious. Unfathomable matters are beginning to become fathomable. Having a commitment to understanding provokes understanding. It’s that simple.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)The Sun moves into Aquarius. Get your birthday preparations in order. Venus is present, adding to the feeling that you are the special one. There are adventures afoot. You don’t have to work to go out and get them. The appropriate ones are arriving at the appropriate time. Float blissfully.

PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)The Moon begins her week in Pisces. She is rising; slowly turning up the wick on feeling. Don’t get caught in the trap of being intense for the sake of being intense. Explore the richness of the present emotional landscape in a relaxed and effortless manner. Be grounded in self-worth.
